Answer:
b = 4
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
<u>Algebra I</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
8b - 12 = 5b
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>b</u></em>
- Subtract 5b on both sides: 3b - 12 = 0
- Add 12 on both sides: 3b = 12
- Divide 3 on both sides: b = 4
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in b to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute: 8(4) - 12 = 5(4)
- Multiply: 32 - 12 = 20
- Subtract: 20 = 20
And we have our final answer!
The answer to the question is 8
The answer is <span>She went over by one over six of a cup
</span>
<span>1 cup of that particular chocolate powder has a mass of 128 grams: 1c = 128g
</span><span>64 grams of chocolate powder is x cups.
1c = 128g
x = 64g
1c : 128 g = x : 64g
x = </span>1c : 128 g * 64 g
x = 0.5 c
64 grams of chocolate powder is 0.5 cups = 1/2 cups
<span>She added two over three of a cup of chocolate powder: 2/3 cups
She need to add 1/2 cups: 1/2 = 3/6 cups
She added 2/3 cups: 2/3 = 4/6 cups
So she added 4/6 - 3/6 = 1/6 cups more.
